They can also go swimming, shoot pellets and arrows at our shooting sports range, climb our rock wall, rapel from our natural rock face, visit the nature conservation area, go fishing, learn outdoor and first aid Scout skills, make a craft or play some Cub Scout games. Mid-week all Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts will spend the day exploring the back woods of Camp Rock Enon, learning and testing new outdoor skills as part of the Webelos Walkabout and outpost camp sleeping under the stars.
